Question
My temporary permit is under appeal with immigration presently.  Can I visit the island as a tourist while the appeal process is continuing?  How long can I be a visitor for if I am allowed to visit?

Answer

I'm sorry but according to the Immigration Department Website at http://www.immigration.gov.ky/pls/portal/url/page/immhome/workinghere/workpermit...

Important note: a prospective employee may not normally be in the Cayman Islands when the application is submitted. The Chief Immigration Officer may only exercise his discretion to accept an application where the prospective worker is already in the Islands in exceptional circumstances. An applicant wishing to request the Chief Immigration Officer to exercise this discretion must provide a detailed justification for doing so in a letter covering the application.
